Imagine that! Constant Contact®, trusted marketing advisor to over 400,000 companies, likes to reward users who have made the best use of their tools while sticking to best practices in email marketing.

Our IT Manager, Anita Davis selected them 2 years ago and with access to their webinars and great support, she has been churning out newsletters and mailers ever since.

Fewer than 15% of Constant Contact customers made the cut.

We have seen great results, making new friends and even hearing from guests who have been off the radar for years. But we are most proud to have been selected as one of Constant Contact's 2010 All Stars, as a business that plays by the rules while sharing the villa life.

Congratulations to Shomari A. Moorehead, a St. Croix native on My Virgin Islands, on his latest venture. This is an iPhone application (app) that's available for download and purchase at the Apple Store online. Think of it as a U.S. Virgin Islands guide for those on the go... and we're listed!

The site, MyVirginIslands (MyVI), was launched in December of '09, and we have made our move to the useful directory and mobile web site that's packed with things to do and explore in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We've been very pleased with the level of service and responsiveness from the staff at MyVI and hope that iPhone users all over the world will continue to utilize this great resource. Thus far people from Argentina, Canada, the U.K., Australia and other countries are logging on.

View the McLaughlin Anderson Luxury Villas directory listing online if you don't have an iPhone. We hear they are working on expanding their reach throughout the mobile world, so stay tuned for more from MyVI...

Earl brushed by to our north, toppling some big trees, a few telephone poles and ruffling our lush island landscaping. Within a couple of days the power was back on for the most part, and many businesses reopening. The sun continues to shine, and there is still plenty of greenery all around.

Fortunately for our office, we were able to get up and running within the first hour of curfew being lifted this past Tuesday thanks to our trusty generator and the company that maintains it, Import Supply, and crack engineer at Broadband VI, Jody Davis for our internet connectivity and remote login capability.
